EpicDuel PVP Game Design Notes

April 18, 2019

EpicDuel will be updating shortly to add part of an epic springtime release featuring new weapons, balance changes, and a new arcade game!

Balance

Currently, many ideas for improving balance are being thrown around on the test server but there's not total confident in their viability. It's especially risky to push large balance changes over a holiday weekend when immediate corrective action wouldn't be possible. We're continuing to test and brainstorm ideas to revamp the skill trees to empower struggling classes and encourage build diversity.

• General
  • Deflection chance max increased to 35%

• Tech Mage
  • Malfunction: Improves with ever 2.4 Support
  • Defense Matrix: Improves with ever 0.4 Support
  • Technician: Improves with every 3 Dexterity

• Cyber Hunter
  • Malfunction: Improves with ever 2.8 Support
  • Defense Matrix: Improves with ever 0.4 Support

• Robots
  • Cleanse: Reduces debuffs by up to 75% from 85%
  • Heart Attack: Reduces buffs by up to 75% from 85%

Arcade

Try your luck and spend some tokens at the Springtime Smash Arcade featuring some new weapons from Bido!

• Spring Slayer E
• Spring Slicers P

New Weapons

Visit Deuce for new seasonal gear! There's still more to come so don't feel too disappointed if some items from the previews, like the awesome Highlander armor, aren't present in the shop just yet!

• Highlander Broadsword P
